Lectures by Peter Rühe

1) Anecdotes from Mahatma Gandhi’s Inner Circle

Peter Rühe travelled India extensively in the 1980s and 90s with a mission: to learn more about the life and work of Mahatma Gandhi and the context he lived in. Peter Rühe visited Gandhian
projects and met close associates and relatives of the Mahatma. Oral history became his passion and often he was told very personal incidents of Gandhi’s life. He was also shown rare material,
such as letters, films, photographs or documents, which he then helped to preserve for posterity.

The lecture provides a rare insight into Gandhi’s inner circle and helps to understand the personality of the Mahatma better.
